The JESSICA Most Successful Women Award 2024 has concluded its first-ever public nomination and voting process. We are delighted to announce the recipients of this prestigious award, which honors outstanding women leaders who have made significant contributions to their industries and communities in Hong Kong and greater China.

A New Era of Nomination and Selection

This year, the award invited public nominations, which drew an overwhelming response and produced a diverse array of talented women from various sectors. The Voting Committee, along with six esteemed jurors and JESSICA's editorial team, faced the daunting task of selecting winners from over 120 top-tier candidates. Each juror, including leaders such as Yamilette Cano, Judy Chen, Joanna HoTung, Vivian Lau, Lindsey McAlister, OBE, JP, and Dr. Eden Woon, voted three times to select the most deserving recipients.
